The crackdown starts here

It would appear that those who repeatedly cause trouble in SA are incapable of taking the hint. So further measures are needed.

When the idea of a Sport's Forum was first raised, virtually all the Dons said that it would never work, would self-destruct and would eventually have to be closed. It looks like they were proved very wrong. Except..... that in fairly recent times, there has been a marked increase in playground bickering and insults.

No longer will this be tolerated as it puts the very existence of the SA in jeopardy. I will not have this forum denied to the many due to the actions and pettiness of the few.

I have, today, barred access to the Sports Arena to one member. It's a nice, shiny, bl00 button. Don't make me use it again.

oi oi oi, his name aint in the Whipping Stocks forum!! Nameage and Shameage is the only solution...

2blue4u · 9 Jul 2003 at 13:59

He's not banned or suspended. Merely barred from this Mighty Fine Forum.

i knew it would come down to this, such a shame.

dirtydog · 9 Jul 2003 at 19:07

Good idea. I'd be interested to know who it is though

I'd say it's fairly obvious judging by a few recent threads... and not something that should be discussed since he can't reply himself. I'm assuming this is a suspension from SA 2blue4u rather than complete ban? Being banned a couple of weeks ago, I really missed SA, so having this kind of deterrant is a good thing imo.

I'm hoping there won't be any more suspensions and the SA reverts back to the forum it once was, a pleasurable place to frequent.

yeah and we all love Chelski Mr Bloo

PS now that they have money!

daz.wallace · 9 Jul 2003 at 20:21

Shame it had to come down to this but the bickering and pettiness (sp) spoils the atmosphere in this fine forum

Carter · 9 Jul 2003 at 20:22

It's the same in every sports forum/newsgroup I've ever visited, this is the only one I frequent now.

*FLASH* · 9 Jul 2003 at 20:43

The Sports forum Rules over all others

Its mighty fine and I use it to see all the latest transfer gossip rather than making a trip to the countless footy sites

its a must be place to go and if its closed I dunno what Ill do!

I remember in a discussion a while ago I said I hoped we didnt give the satisfaction of saying "we told you so" to the doubters. I remember the very thread in GD asking for a sports forum and was one of those who campaigned for it. Such a shame that it has come to the point of bloo making a thread such as this.

As I've said before, leave it on the terraces if your going to dish out aggro.

Well to fair, its only happened relativly recently, and it isnt any of the "big names" or regulars so to speak so i wouldnt be too upset.

Not overly sure I agree 100% with those two statements, but thats just my opinion.

Roll on the new season

Davey_Pitch · 9 Jul 2003 at 22:20

I have a fair idea who it is, I'll be on the lookout for posts from him in the next few days to see if I'm right.

Good going though 2Blue, this is easily my favourite forum here but when it gets bitchy it's not always a nice place to visit. Keep up the good work

wassap · 9 Jul 2003 at 22:25

We seem t keep having little threads like this, it seems to be some of the newer members who seem to be a bit childish

.

Id like to think most of us regulars to SA are pretty ok, well apart from mancs,gooners etc
